Nagging thoughts

There is a saying "when there is an action , there will a re-action ". At times, the re-action is much stronger. Hence, if we have a thought, the more we push it away, the more it comes back to haunt us. The only way to handle such nagging thoughts is to accept its presence , stare at it and do nothing about it.

It is easy to say that we could meditate on it but it is actually very uncomfortable as the thoughts continued to stay to close to us like a housefly buzzing in our ears. It will also depends on our self discipline and our mood swing.

If we are at our peak, we can easily control our thoughts or have more discipline to be consciously aware to keep the thoughts at bay.  But, if we are at our weakest point, the thoughts will overtake us and control our body and mind and could surpress us deeply and make us feeling crazy.

If the thoughts are related to the heart, it will be even more difficult to control as the mind affects the heart and the heart affects the mind.  Such linkage is very strong and the thought could absolutely in control our heart and mind and make our thoughts more stronger and defiant.

In order to control the heart and mind, we must isolate the heart and calm the mind . To handle these two elements together it will be a futile effort.  If these involved two person, we have to separate them and let the mind forget the heart or reduce the influence of the heart on the mind.

However, we must realize that the longer or harder the mind reject the heart , the more confused will be the mind. Let the mind accept the presence of the heart but not infront of the heart and take the mind away from the heart.   Change the focus in the mind and re-direct the attention of the mind to something more positive.  The trouble of the heart and mind is like a gloomy room where the feelings and energy sway and swing wide so the mind must focus or move in the direction of the light  and see thoroughly or carefully what is the need of the heart.

It is never easy to separate the heart from the mind as are attracting poles and if we cannot control the fume that the heart and the mind will breakfree and gather strength to be stronger , bigger and larger.

Namaste.
